Research direction

The issue names only the VM Remote Console, with no file or test. Start by locating the console entry point and existing keyboard-layout handling, then check how console input is tested; done means the German layout can be used and produces correct characters, including during password entry.

The required feature described as a wish

As a User, Admin and Operator, I would like to use a German keyboard layout in the VM Remote Console. This helps prevent typing errors, especially when entering passwords.
